CIRCULAR 


To  Agents  and  Employes: 

Gentlemen  :  The  following  Book  of  Instructions  is  carefully  com- 
piled from  the  matured  experience,  written  or  heretofore  unwritten,  of 
those  engaged  for  years  in  this  particular  business,  and,  it  is  believed, 
embraces  nearly  every  point  upon  which  a  vital  question  of  practice 
could  arise  in  the  routine  of  an  office.  It  is,  moreover,  so  classified  and 
arranged  that  any  particular  subject  may  readily  be  referred  to,  and  all 
necessary  light  obtained  thereon. 

As  such  it  is  commended  to  your  earnest  perusal  and  study,  with  the 
assurance  that  its  rules  are  binding,  and  that  you  will  be  held  personally 
responsible  for  mistakes  originating  from  a  neglect  of  consulting  and 
obeying  them. 

Very  truly,  yours, 

CHAELES  E.  McLANE, 

General  Agent. 
San  Francisco,  Sept.  1st,  1868.

CAUSES   OF   LOSS   AND    DISSATISFACTION. 

Causes  of  loss  The  business  is  eminently  one  of  detail,  requiring  of 

and  (lissatisfac- 

tion.    '  all  persons  engaged  in  it,  system,  accuracy,  punctuality, 

watchfulness,  urbanity,  and,  above  all,  that  the  business 
of  to-day  be  done  before  to-morrow.  Among  the  pro- 
lific sources  of  loss  to  the  Company  are  : 

By  goods  being  improperly  marked. 

By  being  improperly  packed  for  safe  carriage. 

By  carelessness  in  handling. 

By  receiving  goods  of  little  or  no  value,  and  forward- 
ing without  prepaym  lit,  and  by  advancing  charges 
on  them. 

By  carelessness  in  giving  receipts. 

By  neglecting  to  notify  back  when  goods  are  short. 

By  neglecting  to  carefully  check. 

By  want  of  uniformity  in  charges,  causing  dissatis- 
faction to  the  customer. 

By  want  of  courtesy  and  attention  to  the  interests  of 
customers  ;  thereby  injuring  the  popularity  of  the 
Company. 

By  carelessness  in  the  safe  keeping  of  money  and 
other  valuable  packages. 

By  neglecting  to  adjust  promptly  all  claims  for  loss 
or  damage. 

By  neglecting  to  properly  way-bill  money  packages. 

By  loss  or  misplacement  of  safe,  trunk,  or  treasure- 
*  box  keys. 

By  suffering  C.  0.  D.  goods  to  be  delivered  before 
payment  of  bill. 

By  neglecting  to  take  receipts  for  goods  delivered. 

By  neglecting  to  keep  watch  of  money  and  valuable 
packages,  when  in  wagons  or  coaches. 

To  obviate  these  evils,  and  to  insure  uniformity  in 
each  department  throughout  the  entire  business,  a  strict 
observance  of  the  following  rules  is  enjoined  upon  all 
the  employes  of  the  Company.

the  way-bills  referring  to  same,  immediate  and  ener- 
getic steps  must  be  taken  to  trace  and  find  them.     The

them  to  be  traced.  Offices  must  be  prepared,  in  way 
above  indicated,  to  give  the  time  the  delayed  goods 
passed  through  their  hands. 


CALIFORNIA  AND  OREGON  EXPRESS.

25.  Every  agent  failing  to  notify,  at  once,  when  goods  5^fty  for  ne~ 
are  short,  will  be  held  as  having  received  them. 

CLAIMS  FOR  DAMAGES. 

26.  When  damages  are  claimed,  the  agent  should  Personal  exami- 
personally .  examine  into  the  claim,  and  not  refer  it  to 

employes. 

27.  When  claim  for  damages  exceeds  $10,  it  must  "JSK^JJ  *™{

28.  If  suits  are  brought  against  the  Company,  the  Suits  for  dama- 
traveling  agent,  and  the  Superintendent  at  San  Fran- 
cisco, must  be  immediately  notified. 


"OFFING"  CHARGES. 

29.  When  a  package  is  received,  the  charges  on 
which,  by  reason  of  being  in  excess  of  schedule  rate,  or 
for  other  good  and  sufficient  reasons,  are  calculated  to 
give  serious  dissatisfaction  to  consignee,  agents  may 
"  off"  in  remarks  column  such  amount  as  may  be 
decerned  necessary,  provided  such  amount  does  not 
affect  the  column  of  "  advanced  charges  ;"  and  under 
no  circumstances  shall  charges  reported  as  "  advanced  " 
be  deducted  either  in  whole  or  in  part. 

30.  In  judging  whether  an  actual  overcharge  has 
been  made,  when  such  is  alleged  to  be  the  case,  agents 
will  consult  the  Company's  own  figures,  and  not  be  in- 
fluenced by  the  amount  paid  to  connecting  lines  and 
appearing  as  "advanced  charges." 

31.  When  a  package  is  entered  free  on  a  way-bill 
the  address  of  the  consignee  must  be  given.  When  a 
package  is  entered  on  way-bills  to  collect,  and  the  agent 
delivering  it  "  offs  "  or  excuses  payment  of  the  same,  he 
must  always  state  explicitly  on  the  way-bill  the  reason 
for  such  action.

MARKING  FREIGHT. 

32.  As  the  cause  of  many  errors  and  complaints  is 
found  in  defective  marking  and  packing,  agents  and 
others  employed  in  receiving  and  forwarding  goods, 
will  make  these  points  a  matter  of  very  serious  attention. 

33.  The  address  on  articles  of  freight  and  boxes  must, 
in  all  cases,  be  plainly  and  conspicuously  marked  there- 
on, and  whenever  possible,  with  marking  paint. 

34.  The  printed  label  of  the  Company,  giving  the 
name  of  the  office  at  which  such  article  is  received  and 
billed,  must  also  be  attached  on  the  same  side  with  the 
address. 

MONEY  PACKAGES. 

35.  In  all  cases  money  packages  must  be  securely 
sealed  with  the  private  seal  of  the  shipper  or  that  of 
Wells,  Fargo  &  Co.  But  in  no  case  must  the  latter  be 
used  unless  the  agent  knows  the  value  of  contents. 

36.  The  exact  amount  of  money  contained  in  pack- 
ages must  be  plainly  marked  on  them,  and  no  money 
package  be  receipted  for  until  after  it  is  sealed. 

37.  Every  currency  package  put  up  in  an  envelope 
must  have  five  seals  upon  it,  as  follows ;  one  on  the 
centre,  and  one  on  each  seam  of  the  envelope,  half-way 
from  the  centre  to  the  corner,  as  shown  in  the  diagram 
below. 


Sealing  large 
packages. 


38.  No  package  of  money  in  an  envelope  must  be 
allowed  to  leave  an  office  without  being  thus  sealed. 


CALIFORNIA  AND  OREGON  EXPRESS.

Large  packages  of  money,  otherwise  put  up,  must  be  so 
securely  sealed  that  they  can  by  no  possibility  be  tarn-  > 
pered  with  without  detection. 

39.  If  any  error  or  short  count  occurs  in  packages  Penalty  for  ne- 

*  t  .  glecting  these 

not  sealed  in  accordance  with   these  instructions,  the  particulars, 
amount  will  be  charged  back  to  the  agent  or  office  for- 
warding the  same. 

40.  Gold-dust   should   be  put  in  strong  and   well-  J^ing  of  gold' 
sewed  buckskin  bags,  tied,  and  well  sealed.     Tin  cans 

must  not  be  used,  as  the  least  jar  breaks  the  solder  on 
the  seams,  and  it  sifts  out. 

41.  Shippers  should  avoid,  as  much  as  possible,  the  packing  bars  or 
practice  of  putting  more  than  one  gold  bar  in  a  pack-  co,n' 

age.  They  are  liable  to  break  the  packing  and  oblit- 
erate the  mark.  When  bars  or  coin  are  put  up  in 
boxes,  the  lid  should  be  screwed  on,  and  the  screw- 
heads  sealed  with  wax. 


TAGS  AND  LABELS. 

42.  In  all  cases  where  it  is  found  that  the  address  pnrabietagato 

be  substituted  for 

on  packages,  etc.,  is  liable  to  be  obliterated  or  chafed  frail  ones- 

off  in  the  course  of  a  long  journey,  agents  must  at- 
tach to  such  package  the  stout  address-tag  furnished 
for  that  purpose,  and  plainly  write  the  address  thereon. 

43.  Second  only  to  the  imperfect  and  careless  mark-  Office  labels,  im- 

'  x  portance  and 

ing  of  address  upon  a  box  or  package  as  a  source  of  manner  of  their 

error  and  confusion,  is  the  neglect  of  putting  the 
usual  office  label  thereon.  Agents  are  specially  di- 
rected to  guard  against  this  neglect.  In  all  cases,  the 
label  must  show  the  name  of  the  office  from  which  it  is

must  be  put  on  the  same  side  of  the  box  or  package, 
or  way-billed  letter,  with  the  address,  so  that  it  will  be 
impossible  to  overlook  it. 

44.  The  inconsiderate  practice  of  attaching  the  label  ImPr°Peruse- 
to  the  back  of  a  letter  or  other   package,  or  other- 
wise out  of  immediate  observation,  is  seriously  repre-

46.  In  C.  0.  D.  packages,  etc.,  care  must  be  taken 
to  attach  the  "  C.  0.  D."  label,  as  the  neglect  of  so 
doing  may  occasion  error  in  the  treatment  of  such 
packages,  etc.,  for  which  the  agent  causing  the  error 
will  be  held  personally  liable. 

47.  Agents  who  are  not  furnished  with  labels  hav- 
ing the  office  name  printed  thereon,  will  consult  their 
own  convenience  and  expedite  business  by  making  and

RECEIPTS. 

48.  A  receipt  must  be  given  to  the  sender  for  every 
package  to  be  forwarded,  valuable  or  otherwise,  and 
all  valuable  packages  locked  in  the  safe  until  checked 
out  and  sent  forward. 

49.  Agents  must  require  a  value  to  be  put  on  every 
package  by  the  shipper,  which  value  he  will  insert  in 
the  receipt.  It  is  not  necessary  to  way-bill  such  value 
in  all  cases.  It  is  required  to  enable  the  Company 
more  readily  to  settle  damages  in  case  of  loss. 

50.  Money  and  other  packages  must  not  be  received 
for  places  on  our  routes  where  we  have  no  office  or  no 
certain  arrangements  for  their  delivery.  If  the  place  is 
off  our  routes,  the  receipt  given  must  specify  "  to  be

if  wrong,  the  office  receiving  can  add  to,  or  deduct  from

charge,  and  add  to  the  bill  in  column  of  remarks, 
which  will  be  taken  upon  statement  sheet  in  "  add  " 
column.

figure  or  the  introduction  of  any  new  figures  into  the 
charges  columns. 

55.  Shippers  are  required  to  put  a  value  on  every 
article,  and  agents  to  so  book  it,  and  enter  it  in  receipt 
and  on  way-bill.  This  valuation  must  influence,  in  a 
measure,  the  charges  made. 

56.  Agents  must  exercise  great  care  in  making  special  Special  con- 
agreements  and  always  consult  authority.  All  contracts, 

made  by  one  agent,  are  to  be  faithfully  fulfilled  by  any 
other  agent,  whenever  a  receipt,  with  an  agreement  on 
it,  or  other  good  evidence,  is  shown.  When  contracts 
are  not  in  accordance  with  the  tariff,  the  receipt  should 
be  taken  from  the  holder  and  sent  to  the  Superin- 
tendent. 

57.  Express   matter  forwarded   under   monthly   or  Forwarding  s.  c,

60.  All  packages  containing  poultry,  fish,  fruit,  or 
perishable  articles  of  any  description,  or  articles  con- 
tained in  glass,  should  have  their  nature  distinctly 
marked  upon  them,  as  also  the  full  address  of  the  con- 
signee, including  street  and  number,  and  must  only  be 
received  at  owner's  risk,  and  charges  must  be  prepaid  to

61.  These  conditions  must  be  specified  in  the  receipt, 
and  in  order  to  have  such  contract  for  reference,  in  case 
of  loss  or  damage,  agents  t  will  give  a  receipt,  and  re- 
quire a  duplicate,  with  agreement  and  signature  of 
shipper  across  face  of  same,  assuming  and  agreeing  to 
considerations  given  therein.  A  five-cent  revenue 
stamp  must  be  attached  to  such  contract,  to  make  it 
legally  binding. 

SALE  OF  PERISHABLE  GOODS,  IF  REFUSED. 

62.  When  perishable  goods  are  refused  by  consignee, 
or  not  called  for,  (unless  other  instructions  accompany 
them)  they  should  at  once  be  disposed  of  to  the  best 
advantage,  after  having  consulted  some  judicious  per- 
son in  the  trade,  as  to  the  manner  and  propriety  of  so 
doing,  and  an  account  of  sales,  with  net  proceeds,  re- 
turned to  the  shipper,  addressed  to  the  office  from 
which  the  goods  came.  If  the  shipper  is  not  known, 
the  account  of  sales  may  be  sent  to  the  agent  where

Express  offers  superior  advantages,  for  points  in  the 
Atlantic   States,   for  packages,  parcels   and  treasure. 

The  rapid  construction  of  the  great  National  Highway 
— the  Pacific  Eailroad — gives  this  route  an  importance 
not  hitherto  considered.  A  year  or  eighteen  months 
will  give  a  railroad  communication  between  the  Eastern 
and  Pacific  States,  when  the  express  charges  will  be 
materially  lessened,  and  the  time  greatly  shortened. 

65.  Agents  will  bill  to  Salt  Lake  City  all  matter  where  to bii land

lor  points  in  Montana  ;  and  when  charges  are  to  collect,

70.  For  any  point  off  our  lines,  agents  billing-  will 
only  make  way  bills  and  charges  to  the  office  to  which 
they  are  authorized  to  bill. 

71.  But,  if  the  charges  are  prepaid  to  destination, 
the  full  amount  paid  is  to  be  extended  in  column  of 
"  our  charges,"  and  in  "  prepaid  column,"  adding  in 
column  of  "  remarks,"  •'  paid  through"  The  office 
that  receives  such  package  will  rebill  it  without  charge, 

saying,   "  Paid  through  on Bill,"   giving  date 

and  name  of  office  issuing  the  bill. 

72.  When  charges  are  to  collect,  and  rate  has  been 
agreed  through,  the  charges  should  be  entered  only  to 
point  billed  to,  and  the  price  agreed  upon  to  destination 
noted  in  column  of  remarks. 

73.  Agents  will  always  enter  on  way-bill,  in  column 
"  from  whom  received,"  the  name  of  the  party  who  de- 
livers packages  or  goods  to  them. 

74.  When  goods  are  received  and  to  be  forwarded, 
marked  with  a  private  mark,  or  an  initial  letter,  the 
name  of  consignee  must  in  all  cases  be  ascertained,  and 
entered  with  that  of  consignor,  in  fall,  upon  the  way- 
bill, with  destination. 

75.  Correct  copies  of  all  bills  forwarded  must  be 
kept  in  a  book  furnished  for  that  purpose,  and  those 
received  in  another  book  of  the  kind  required. 

76.  Agents  will  require  out  messengers  to  check  every 
entry  on  their  bills  with  initials  of  name. 

77.  Agents  will  be  particular  to  fold  the  largest  size 
of  way-bills  by  first  turning  them  over  lengthwise,  into 
the  size  of  smaller  ones,  and  then  transversely. 


MEMORANDUM  WAY-BILLS. 


Mem.  way-bills 
from  regular  offi- 
ces when  admis 
sible. 


78.  No  package  shall  be  forwarded  unless  accompa- 
nied by  a  regular  or  memorandum  way-bill,  to  guide 
and  govern  agents  through  whose  hands  it  must  pass. 
At  all  offices  a  regular  way-bill,  duly  numbered  and 
registered,  must  be  sent  forward  with  all  packages. 
The  only  exception  allowable  is  when  forwarding   a

package  after  the  final  disposition  of  the  regular  way- 
bill has  been  made,  (such  as  noting  it  on  abstract  or 
delivery  to  messenger)  in  which  case  a  memorandum 
bill  must  be  sent. 

79.  When  a  package  becomes  detached  or  separated,  JJem.  "jr*^

the  process  of  checking  other  bills,  will  at  once  make 
out  a  memorandum  way-bill,  noting  thereon  addresses, 
destination,  and  other  essential  particulars  of  which 
they  may  be  cognizant,  and  forward  same,  duly  checked, 
with  such  package. 

80.  When,  afterward,  the  regular  way-bill  happens  SFffJf,, 
to  arrive,  the  agent  making  the  memorandum  bill,  or, 

in  case  of  his  neglect,  any  agent  acquainted  with  the 
preceding  facts,  will  note  on  the  regular  way-bill,  in  re- 
marks column,  "Hence,"  and  will  omit  placing  his 
check-mark  thereon. 

81.  Agents   making    memorandum   way-bills,  must  Beo^gLjf  mem* 
preserve  a  record  of  the  same,  giving  all  requisite  par- 
ticulars and  the  date  of  forwarding  such  bills,  which 

record  may  be  canceled  when  regular  way-bill  is  known 
to  have  gone  forward. 

82.  It  occurs  more  frequently  that  a  regular  way-bill  wS'for^hSt11*' 
becomes  separated  from  its  packages  and  goes  forward  i)acka«es- 

in  advance  of  them.  In  such  cases,  agents  will  mark 
all  such  entries  "  Short,"  and  preserve  a  record  thereof. 
See  paragraphs  22,  25,  pp.  14,  15.  The  same  entry 
afterward  appearing  on  a  memorandum  bill  with  the 
package,  must  have  noted  thereon,  if  not  so  noted 
already,  "  Reg.  W.  B.  hence." 

83.  No  way-bill  entry  shall  be  checked  by  any  agent  SS|££n  ta 
with  his  initial,  unless  the  thing  called  for  is  actually 

within  his  observation  and  control,  either  on  hand  or  in 
transitu. 

84.  Memorandum  way-bills  must  not  be  entered  on  Mem.  bins  not  to

necessary  that  no  article,  of  whatever  description,  be

short  the  distance.

the  Express,  in  which  the  genius  and  tact  of  an  agent 

can  be  so  forcibly  and  advantageously  exerted,  as  in 
that  relating  to  the  successful  collection  of  money,  and 
its  prompt  and  satisfactory  return  to  the  proper  owner. 

94.  In  entering  upon  the  general  instructions  relating  Descriptive 

.  .      ,  ,  terms  in  use. 

to  this  branch,  particular  attention  is  invited  to  the 
material  difference  of  meaning  conveyed  in  the  various 
descriptive  terms  applied  to  collections — a  difference 
which,  if  overlooked,  may  occasion  difficulty,  confusion, 
and  sometimes  loss.  Thus,  collections,  when  first  for- 
warded, are  treated  simply  as  "Collections;"  when  re- 
turned paid,  as  "  Paid  Collections  ;"  when  returned  not 
paid,  as  "  Returned  Collections." 

95.  A  C.  0.  D.  (collect  on  delivery)  is  a  distinct  va-  Siecti™  C"°* D* 
riety  of  collection.     This  mark  always  means  that  there 

is  something  else  to  be  collected  on  goods  besides  the 
charges,  before  they  are  delivered — the  cost  of  purchase, 
for  example — and  the  goods  must  not  be  opened  or  de- 
livered until  the  collection  is  paid.  The  shipper's  in- 
structions leave  us  no  discretion  in  this  matter.

is  sent  forward  to  be  presented  to  the  debtor  for  pay- 
ment, but  is  usually  unaccompanied  by  any  other  matter 
except  the  instructions  of  the  agent  forwarding,  and  JbeyedC.tionstobe 
which  must,  in  all  cases,  govern  the  actions  of  the  agent 
making  the  collection.

TKEATMENT  OF  COLLECTIONS. 

Y^p»froper  en"  9~-  When  drafts,  notes,  or  bills  are  taken  for  collec- 
tion, the  Company's  collection  receipt  must  always  be 
given,  and  the  draft,  note,  or  bill,  inclosed  in  the  proper 
collection  envelope. 

98.  When  a  note  or  draft  is  drawn  to  the  order  of 
the  party  sending  it  for  collection,  agents  must  not  fail 
to  procure  the  signature  or  indorsement  of  such  person 
on  the  back  of  such  paper,  before  forwarding  it,  and 
must  certify  beneath  that  the  signature  of  indorser  is 
genuine.  Much  delay  and  loss  is  caused  by  a  neglect 
of  this  important  rule. 


Signatures   to  be 
certified.

ported,  and  not  paid  on  presentation,  whether  ordered  protested, 

or  not  to  be  protested,  the  office  sending  must  be  imme- 
diately notified  of  the  fact.     And  wherever  delay  occurs 
from  absence  of  parties,  or  other  cause,  advice  of  the 
fact  must  be  immediately  returned. 
Importance  of  so       m  Thig  ig  yital]y  important .    and  the  merchant 

and  public  generally  who  intrust  their  business  to  the 
company  are  ever  anxious  for  information  in  case  of 
delay.  Forms  for  advice,  which  are  simple,  and  gene-

agent  deems  it  advisable  to  hold  for  a  short  time,  the 
fact  must  be  advised. 

102.  Any  advice  or  correspondence  in  regard  to  col- 
lections must  be  addressed  to  the  office  sending  them, 
and  in  no  instance  to  the  parties  from  whom  they  are 
received.  Any  deviation  from  this  only  tends  to  delay 
and  confusion.

the  kind  of  money  taken  on  collections.  The  custom 
of  the  place  where  the  collection  is  made  determines  the 
kind  of  money  in  which  it  is  to  be  paid,  unless  the  face 
of  the  paper  specifies  it.    As  far  as  possible,  the  money

attention  is  directed  to  this  peculiarity  in  treatment  of

111.  Any  special  instructions  written  on  the  enve- 
lope, conflicting  with  the  above,  must,  however,  be 
strictly  adhered  to.  For  further  information  of  agents 
in  making  collections  of  this  character,  the  following 
remarks  are  subjoined. 


Expenses  and 
charges. 


Special  Instruc- 
tions to  be  obey- 
ed. 


ACCEPTANCE  OF  A  BILL  OR  DRAFT. 


Form  of  an  ac- 
ceptanee. 


Consequences   of 
failure  to  protest. 


Necessity  of  pro- 
testing on  da\- 
when  due. 


No  contingency 
whatever  serving 

as  an  excuse. 


Time  and  place  of 
presentation. 


112.  An  acceptance  is  an  engagament  to  pay  a  bill 
or  draft,  and  is  done  by  the  drawee  (the  person  on  whom 
the  draft  is  made)  writing  "  accepted  "  across  the  face 
of  the  paper,  and  subscribing  his  name ;  and  when  a 
specified  time  of  payment  is  mentioned,  (as  ten  days  after 
sight)  the  drawee  should  date  the  time  of  acceptance. 

113.  When,  in  case  of  time  drafts,  instructions  are  to 
protest,  which  must  be  for  non-acceptance  and  non-pay- 
ment, and  it  is  not  accepted  or  paid,  it  must  be  twice 
protested  as  indicated  above,  or  the  drawee  and  in- 
dorsee are  discharged  from  liability. 

114.  A  draft  must  be  presented  for  payment,  and 
properly  protested  on  the  day  it  becomes  due,  or  the 
Express  Company  will  be  held  liable  for  its  payment, 
and  the  indorser  exonerated.  Even  the  bankruptcy, 
insolvency,  or  death  of  the  acceptor,  (or  drawee)  will 
not  excuse  a  neglect  to  demand  payment  of  the  assignees 
or  executors,  nor  will  the  insufficiency  of  a  draft  or  note, 
in  any  respect,  constitute  an  excuse,  so  far  as  the  Com- 
pany is  concerned,  for  non-payment. 

115.  The  presentment  should  be  made  at  a  reason- 
able time  of  day,  when  the  bill  is  due.     If  the  paper  is 


CALIFORNIA  AND  OREGON  EXPRESS.  31 


made  payable  at  any  specified  place,  it  must  be  pre- 
sented at  such  place  for  pajmient. 

116.  If  a  draft  or  note  falls  due  on  Sunday  or  any  Rule  in  relation

paper  becomes  due  on   Saturday,  except  in  States, 

where,  by  law,  it  becomes  due  the  day  after  Sunday  or 

holiday.

to   be  pursued   in   making  a  collection,  agents  should  of  doubt. 

always  consult  a  lawyer  or  bank  officer,  or  some  one 

competent  to  advise,  and  in  all  cases  the  agent  should 

acquaint  himself  with  the  statutes  bearing  on  this  sub-  * 

ject  in  the  locality  where  he  resides. 

118.  Agents  must  avoid,  in  all  cases,  receiving  any  {.'"vt^S^^Ifoss 
amount  on  account  of  a  collection  unless  the  whole  is  paid  ^tracted!6  U1 

— except  when  special  instructions  are  given  to  do  so  ; 
in  such  cases,  the  amount  must  be  remitted  to  the  office 
sending,  with  particular  advice. 

119.  When  coin  is  remitted  for  paid  collections,  it  Coin  remittances 
should  be  put  up  in  a  separate  package,  sealed  and 

distinctly  marked,  referring  to  the  number  on  the  enve-

124.  A  portion  of  the  bill  must  not  be  collected  on 
the  delivery  of  a  portion  of  the  goods,  unless  by  special 
instructions,  in  writing,  from  the  shipper. 

125.  When  "C.  0.  D."  goods  arrive  in  advance  of,  or 
without  the  collection,  the  office  from  whence  they  were 
sent  must  immediately  be  notified,  giving  the  name  of 
consignee  and  consignor,  if  known. 

126.  If  the  agent  is  satisfied  of  the  proper  amount  to 
be  collected,  he  may  deliver  the  goods,  on  payment  of 
same,  and  remit  to  the  office  from  whence  goods  were 
received,  giving  such  information  as  will  enable  the 
agent  at  that  point  to  deliver  the  money  to  the  proper 
owner. 

127.  Where,  in  the  case  of  C.  0.  D.'s  unusual  delay 
occurs  in  parties  not  taking  their  goods,  advice  of  the 
same,  with  cause,  should  be  returned. 

128.  When  any  C.  0.  D.  package  has  been  on  hand 
one  month,  the  agent  must  report  it  to  the  Superinten- 
dent at  San  Francisco  with  advice,  unless  he  has  offic- 
ial instructions  to  retain  it  a  longer  time.

collections  transferred  to  other  companies,  retaining  the 
original  envelope  in  their  possession,  until  the  return  of

COMMISSIONS. 

132.  The  most  popular  feature  of  an  Express,  is  that  Special  purcnas- 
it  furnishes  a  reliable,  speedy,  and  responsible  medium 

for  the  transaction  of  all  kinds  of  business  at  places  more 
or  less  remote  from  each  other ;  and  ^n  furtherance  of 
this  design,  every  encouragement  is  to  be  given  to  its 
use  for  the  purpose  of  making  special  purchases,  and 
for  attending  to  other  matters  of  commission. 

133.  All  orders  for  purchase  of  goods,  or  articles  of  Commission  en-

the  full  estimated  amount  of  purchase.    In  all  cases  pany 
where  this  rule  is  not  observed,  the  agent  sending  the 
commission  will  be  held  personally  responsible  for  the 
money  expended,  or  the  commission  will  be  returned 
unattended  to. 

134.  In  general,  commissions  must  be  addressed  to

called)  and  the  other  that  of  way-bills  received,  (or,  the

Note. — Discretion  should  be  used  in  making  charges  on  small  pack- 
ages and  parcels,  and  where  the  article  sent  is  not  evidently  worth  the

should  be  insisted  upon.  To  get  the  price  to  points  on  Overland  Express, 
add  to  the  rate  to  Salt  Lake  City  the  rate  from  Salt  Lake  City  to  desti- 
nation. For  points  in  the  States,  (to  go  Overland^)  add  the  rate  from
